Ingredients
- Block of mild cheese
- Block of mature or sharp cheese
- Block of smoked cheese
- Block of red cheese (for the star)
- Black or red grapes
- Green or white grapes
- Fresh mint (or rosemary / thyme to taste)
Step by step
- 1Cut the different cheeses into uniform cubes. From a slice of red cheese, cut out a star shape to crown the tree.
- 2Wash the grapes thoroughly and dry them well with kitchen paper.
- 3Assemble the tree on a large platter or wooden board, arranging horizontal rows from narrow to wide (or starting from the wide base upwards): mild cheese, dark grapes, sharp cheese, green grapes, smoked cheese, and dark grapes.
- 4Place the cheese star at the very top and tuck sprigs of fresh mint, rosemary, or thyme into the gaps to resemble pine branches.
